Real Madrid want to reach an agreement with Kylian Mbappe in January 2024 – report
Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe were once again the centre of attention in the recently concluded summer transfer window.
Despite PSG repeatedly attempting to cash out on the French forward amid his negative stance on a contract renewal, both parties ended up finding common ground, and a move to Madrid did not materialise.
However, the Spanish giants continue to keep tabs on the Frenchman’s situation, with Real Madrid eager to finally secure his signing next year.
Real Madrid want agreement with Mbappe in January
Indeed, as per SPORT, Real Madrid want to reach an agreement with Kylian Mbappe in January 2024 over his arrival for free in the summer.
While Mbappe would not yet be a free agent, his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2024, and thus the World Cup winner would be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the club of his desire.
And, Real Madrid wish to make use of that and finalise an agreement with Mbappe at the turn of the year, so that everything is in place for him to join as a free agent.
Currently, Los Blancos are missing the presence of a striker, with Karim Benzema’s shoes yet to be truly filled, although Jude Bellingham has worked wonders to reduce the impact of his loss.
Mbappe continues to be Real Madrid’s main bet, but if an agreement is not secured in January, the club are looking at alternatives such as Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez, both of Manchester City.
PSG trying to pen Mbappe down
After successfully retaining his services already once in 2022, PSG are aiming to recreate their success and are making another effort to negotiate a new contract with Mbappe.
Even so, Mbappe does not contemplate staying put right now and hopes to hit the exit door soon.
But given that he appeared certain to leave the club last year and this year and still ended up staying, nothing can be ruled out at this point.

Real Madrid very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.
